Ghislaine Maxwell Denies Knowledge of Trump Misconduct, Comments on Epstein Connections in DOJ Transcripts
Newly released transcripts reveal that Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein, denied witnessing President Donald Trump in any inappropriate circumstances and rejected claims linking him to alleged misconduct involving Epstein.
In her testimony to the Department of Justice, Maxwell stated that she “never witnessed [Trump] in any inappropriate setting in any way” and that she “absolutely never in any context” heard Epstein or anyone else suggest that Trump engaged in inappropriate behavior with masseuses.
When asked about a reported birthday card allegedly sent from Trump to Epstein—first disclosed by the Wall Street Journal and described as containing a suggestive sketch and poem—Maxwell said she did not recall ever asking Trump to send such a card.
Maxwell also addressed questions regarding former President Bill Clinton, insisting that Clinton never visited Epstein’s private island.
The transcripts further reflect Maxwell’s denial of widespread speculation surrounding Epstein’s 2019 death, with her remarks highlighting the ongoing circulation of the phrase “Epstein didn’t kill himself.”
These revelations provide additional insight into Maxwell’s testimony, which continues to draw scrutiny as investigators and the public examine the broader network of high-profile figures associated with Jeffrey Epstein.
SPENCER, OKLAHOMA — Authorities have confirmed that a 17-year-old student was shot and killed Wednesday afternoon following a violent altercation near Star Spencer High School in Spencer, Oklahoma.
According to the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded shortly after an altercation broke out among a group of juveniles near the intersection of Northeast 34th Street and Spencer Road.
During the confrontation, one of the individuals reportedly produced a firearm and opened fire, striking a male teenager.
Emergency personnel transported the victim to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The victim was later identified by Oklahoma City Public Schools officials as 17-year-old Sebastian Guyton, a student at Star Spencer High School.
Following the shooting, law enforcement initiated a search of the area. One suspect was taken into custody after a brief foot pursuit, though authorities have not yet released additional details regarding the individual’s identity or potential charges.
As a precaution, several nearby schools were placed on temporary lockdown while officers secured the area.
Classes at Star Spencer High School have been canceled for the remainder of the week in light of the tragedy.
In a statement released Wednesday, Star Spencer High School officials expressed deep sorrow over the loss of their student:
“Please help keep our Bobcat family and friends in your thoughts during this very difficult time,” the statement read.
The Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate the circumstances leading up to the shooting.
